Where am I? It's too dark. Am I in the same place?

"Hikaru, here!"

I quickly turn around after hearing a voice calling my name. I spot a door, not so far from the place I stand. I walked over and opened the door and everything became very bright. I slowly opened my eyes making sure my vision was fully recovered. I was somewhere more precisely, in the woods.

I feel something moving in my pocket. It was Helios. It glows so bright Like a fire that Illuminates a dark path. Why?

"Why are you here?"

I didn't bother to find out who was asking. The temperature getting cold.

"You're not strong enough to fight like him!"

"You're weak!!"

"Why can't you just get out of my sight!?"

"You can't even burst any single bey.."

"Disappointment"

"Why you did do that to Honcho..?"

I cover my ears as the voices get louder and louder. I realize I dropped Helios on the ground, I want to pick it up but the energy around it feels so good.

There's another door. A wooden door. It has such a unique design. A sun is split in two, one of them is red and another is blue. A moon, one of it looks like presenting dawn, and lastly, it looks like a star no, a shining light? What kind of door is this?

I touch the doorknob and the door's design was changed. It turns into a figure. There's a male and a female, wearing a crown like a king and queen. There are two girls and a boy between them. Who are they? Royal family? All of them glow bright like there's hope in them except for the mother. It does not shine like the others. One of them, the make who between the girls, the light starts to flicker.

This door is like telling the story of an ancient family. It's like five people among them but two of them..

What happened to them..?

"Hikaru..?"

"Hikaru, wake up!"

"Wake up big brother! Hikaru!?"

"You will never wake up"

I turn around meeting scary eyes. Taller than me I couldn't tell what is it. I can feel his breath getting closer to my neck. Its sharp claws and its dead green eyes glow in the dark. The door's light fades slowly as the creature in front of me rise his claws ready to attack.

"Destroy them, Lucifer! Final limit breaker!!"

I knew that voice.

"Your end is here, Hikaru Asahi"

He said in his dark voice swinging his sharp claw, and aiming it at my neck and it all went dark again..

--

Hikaru jolts up from his bed, breathing and sweating. He looks at the clock on the desk, two-thirty four in the morning.

Hyuga who was sleeping soundly woke up after hearing uneasy noise from his big brother's bed. He saw Hikaru jolted up from bed breathing and sweating heavily.

He had a nightmare.

He quickly acts asleep before Hikaru finds out he's awake. He saw Hikaru run back to their house the other day. He plants the flower in the backyard with mom's flowers. The blue scarf was still on their study desk, folded nicely by the Helios blader.

Hikaru starts acting differently after he accidentally broke Rantaro's Ragnarok. Hyuga knew Hikaru didn't mean it. He saw Aiga and Valt's expressions. They knew something wasn't right before the battle.

"Why..?"

---

(Ranjiro's Pov)

"Helios! COLOSSAL STRIKE!!"

"BLAZING LIMIT BREAKER!!"

His eyes..

What the hell was that..?

"Ranjiro..?"

I look up and see my mother with a food tray in her hands and Aiga behind her with a cookie in his mouth.

Ranjiro: Mom? Aren't you supposed to work today? And why Aiga is here?

Mrs Kiyama: Welcome home, Sweetheart. Today is my day off, remember? Aiga's here because your brother invites him. Are you looking for Rantaro too? Where have you been?

Ranjiro: Uhm.. Yeah. I am looking for him, right now. And I was with the Asahis! I was visiting a friend.

Aiga: Oh, Hikaru? What is he doing?

Ranjiro: He's fine.

Mrs Kiyama: That's good. Have you eaten yet? I have some soba left in the kitchen.

Ranjiro: No, thanks, mom. I ate earlier.

Aiga: I'll go to Honcho first. If you excuse me..

Mrs Kiyama: Oh, sure dear.

Aiga left leaving me and mom. Mom asked me about Hikaru and I try answer patiently. My mother is not a person who attracts people so much, not after she met Aiga. She really wanna know all about my friends. However, she is still a lovely person.

Mrs Kiyama: Ara~ he sounds like a good boy. It would be lovely if I can meet him so I can know more about him. He sounds like a lovely big brother! His little brother sound like Valt when Rantaro told me about him.

Ranjiro: He is..

I open the door and heard beys clashing. See my big brother having a bey battle with Aiga. Aiga's hair looks like a Super Saiyan again. My mother put down the tray, clapping her hands taking their attention.

Mrs Kiyama: Rantaro, how about a rest? You must tired all day fixed Raknaruk. You can join us too, Aiga.

Big brother thanked my mom and take a cookie. He sits beside my mother while Aiga sits with me. I still can't forget about earlier Hikaru.

What the hell was that?

°°°

Hikaru decided to train alone and avoided everyone including the Bombers. The thing that shocked everyone was he went home but he has bruises on his arms. His hands were reddish like he was training all the time and he didn't let go of his launcher. He didn't wear his glove.

Mrs Asahi: Ara! Do you want to visit Hikaru, Ranjiro? He's in his room.

I nodded walk away with a red rose in my hand. I knocked on the door and walk in, and saw Hikaru sitting on his bed, polishing his bey. There are also some bandages on his arm. On the table next to him had a blue rose in a small vase, a rose I gave him a few days ago.

"That rose suits you, Hikaru.."

Why the heck did I said that!?

"Cap'n..?"

Hikaru soft voice made me immediately snap out of my thought. He looked at me weirdly. Oh boy, that was so embarrassing.

Ranjiro: Hey Hikaru, how are you..?

Hikaru: I'm doing fine, thanks for asking. What do you get there?

Ranjiro: Ah, this is for you. I hope you like it.

I handed him the rose and he smelled it. I don't know why every time he smiles, it makes my heart feel warm. Smiling and giggling a little bit, which made me confused a little. What is so funny?

Hikaru: Thank you, Cap'n. That is very sweet of you. How about you take a seat instead of standing there? I'll ask mom to make-

Ranjiro: No, It's okay. I won't be long. I just wanna ask you something.

Hikaru: What is it?

Ranjiro: What happened to you? I-I mean, how are you doing?

He didn't reply to my answer. He tightens his grip on Helios. His face was like he was hiding something. Something he shouldn't keep in mind.

Hikaru: I'm fine. I was too focused on doing launch training until I forgot to take some rest.

Ranjiro: Oh, may I take a look at Helios?

He nodded I took Helios from his hand and check for problems or damage. The problem is, Helios has no damage at all. Only a slight scratch on the bottom of the driver and the disk. Helios is a bey that rotates counterclockwise and it's also a balanced type of Bey. He's just done launch practising, how can practice launching bey can make a Bey scratch like this?

Hikaru: Are you done?

He asked me. I nodded and gave him Helios back. But then, I saw something else. There's a flare around him. But it wasn't a good one. His flare was different than usual, bright as the sun but, darker than night. His eyes were glowing turquoise same as Aiga-

Something's wrong. It feels like a Deja Vu.

"Cap'n..?"

"Oi Ranjiro.."

"Jiro..? Ranjiro?"

SMACK!!

"OWWWWWWW!!!!! WHAT IS THAT FOR?!"

---

(Aiga's Pov)

"OWWWWWWW!!!!! WHAT IS THAT FOR?!"

I watched Cap'n get smacked by Honcho using a newspaper in his hand. Mrs Kiyama watched them, sweat dropped from her kid's actions.

I can watch this every day.

Honcho: How many times do we have to call your name!?

Cap'n: I'm sorry okay!! Stop hitting me with that newspaper!! You sound like Wakiya!!

Honcho: WHAT DID 'CHA SAY!?

Honcho continue hitting Cap'n with the newspaper

Mrs Kiyama: Taro, please stop bullying your brother.

Mrs Kiyama said with a firm voice. They didn't stop, not until Cap'n grab the newspaper from him and want to smack him back, luckily Honcho avoid it easily, unfortunately, Cap'n accidentally smack his mother.

Oh Shit-

"O-oh.."

"So, you wanna play so bad, huh?"

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!"

---

I wave to Mrs Kiyama and walk away with Cap'n on our way to the Bombers.

Aiga: Cap'n your mom's soba's is so amazing! I'm so full~!

Mrs Kiyama: Thanks for coming Aiga~ Come again in your free time!

Aiga: Sure! Thanks for the food!!

"Urgh..my ears.."

I look at Cap'n with an apologetic smile. I can't help him or Honcho. Honcho has to clean the dishes as his punishment. He also got 'Mrs. Kiyama Super ear-twister'. I feel bad for them.

I recall Cap'n eyes back then, I know what he thought.

"You're thinking about Hikaru didn't you, Cap'n?"

I look into his eyes. He look surprised and nodded.

Aiga: Tell me, what did you see?

Cap'n: Something bad between bey and blader. Hikaru has found that way Aiga. Chances are the same thing will happen again. Maybe..

Aiga: Maybe..?

He looks at me. Shakes his head and walks away.

Aiga:  Seriously, Cap'n...

"Don't say that Hikaru already found another way to strengthen his resonance with Helios..?"
